FRIGHT NIGHT!

YORKY HORROR SHOW

Latics struck five nails in York City's coffin on this day in 1998.

Simon Haworth and Andy Liddell scored their first of many Latics goals on the afternoon at Springfield Park, combining for the third, fourt and fifth goals after an own goal and Colin Greenall's header had the hosts ahead.

Haworth's double came either side of a stunning Liddell strike in the second half.

ROTTEN ROYALS

Allen Tankard scored Latics' third from the penalty spot.

You have to go back a further nine years to 1989 for the next Latics victory on Halloween, with Mark Hilditch, Tony Ward and Allen Tankard all on target in a 3-1 victory against Reading at Springfield Park.

THREE-LER

Paul Cook provided the assist for Bobby Campbell.

A game of stunning goals, quite simply some of the best technique you'll see in front of goal, as Latics won 3-0 against Rotherham United at Springfield Park on this day in 1987.

Paul Jewell's jaw-dropping effort from distance opened the scoring in the first half, before Paul Cook's free kick saw Bobby Campbell ghost in for a near post header. The late, great Campbell added a sprinkle of magic to thump home the third.
